Crush Washer?

The way you have it is correct. There's a little notch on one side -- you thread the plug into the side with the notch. It's kinda idiot proof, actually. Hard to tell from the pic, but the way these washers are designed, it 'naturally' goes on one way. I'm curious though -- why didn't you use the washer that came with the plug? The KICS washers ship with its own crush washer.

The KICS washers looked like ordinary flat washers. The crush washer I ended up using came straight from the dealership. Here's a pic of everything I used.
